Hello are those merino wool top okay in the sale, do they shrink turn to felt or such? Really like my smartwool one just looking for another?

Thanks

They're good.
They're cheap.
They don't stink.
They do shrink.

(Unless you follow instructions and hand-wash only; did mine at 30 deg and it came out 5% smaller, but people on here have had much more comedic results by washing them at 40).

Those Swobo wool jobbies form Charlie The Bikemonger are the best jerseys I've tried, but you need to save up or flog something!

Mine shrank a bit on the first wash, they were fine after that. 30 degrees, bio detergent.

Ground Effect are bomb proof. Not 100% Merino but a heavily merino biased mix. My Swobo jersey fell apart with holes in the rear pockets. No so the Ground effect ones. Wish they did more colours like Swobo though !
